A victory by the Broncos Sunday over San Diego at Sports Authority Field at Mile High would in effect give Denver a four-game lead on the Chargers in the AFC West because the Broncos would hold the tiebreaker between the two.

But Broncos running back Willis McGahee said Wednesday that the team can’t afford to think that way.

“We’re in great shape (in the divisional race), but we’re still just taking it one day at a time,” McGahee said.

“We know we’re on top of the division. But we’re just going to play it one game at a time. We have San Diego coming in. We know they’re a great team. They have a good offense, a great defensive line, a great defense, period. We have to focus on that.”

It’s always tough to beat a talented team twice in a season, McGahee said.

“We know it’s going to be difficult,” he said. “They’ve been watching film. They are going to try to attack our weaknesses. But at the end of the day, as long as we do what we need to do, we’ll come out OK.”
